Article: Why The Grass Looks Greener On The Other Side
“In her column, Ask Marilyn, Marilyn vos Savant gave an interesting perspective on contentment.
One reader wrote in about a unique experiment she had conducted after being dissatisfied that her neighbor’s yard looked better than her own.
She did what few have done and walked next door to look back at her own grass.
When she stood in her neighbor’s yard, the grass in her own yard now looked greener than theirs so she asked, “Why does this occur?”
Marilyn replied, “The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence because you’re not close enough to see the dirt.”
Most of the time, things look better for others simply because we can’t see their dirt.”

Learning To Be Content:
Paul learned to be content by finding strength in the Lord.

You may not have all the worldly possessions, but in Christ, you will dwell in the riches of the Lord’s heaven for all eternity!
You may not be “cool” on this earth, but in Christ, you are an adopted son/daughter and heir to the throne.
You may not be in the best situation right now, but in Christ, He will give you the strength to persevere!
